ARGUMENTS FOR THE ANARCHISTS
But Two Attorneys on Each Side of
the Case to be Heard

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-While there has
been no agreement among the counsel nor
any order of the Supreme Court as to the
time to be allotted for argument to morrow
on the application for a writ of error in be-
half of the condemned Chicago Anarchists,
it is the prevailing opinion that but two at
torneys will be heard on each side. The
oral arguments in support of
the application will be made by
Gen Butler and Hon. j. Randolph Tucker,
of Virginia, and Gen. Pryor, will file a
printed brief The arguments in opposition
to the application, will be made by Attorney
General Hunt, of Illinois, and States At
torney Grinnell, of Chicago. The court will
probably make ruling tomorrow morning
just before the argument begins, as to the
time which will be allowed to each side.
The general expectation is that the Su-
preme Court will refuse the writ of error
asked for by the Anarchists. Its decision
viii probably be rendered the day after the
argument is finished, so that no undue delay
may be attributed to them. In the event
that the decision is against their clients the
counsel for the Anarchists will appeal at
once for the executive clemency of Gov.
Oglesby. Nov. II is the day set for the execu-
tiOu.

From the NeiU York sun.
CARBoNDALE, ILL, Oct 24.--In May,
1884, during the strawberry season here,
Miss Petina N. Hubbs, a pretty young
woman living in Desoto, was visiting an
aunt living at Mill Creek, in Union county.
Miss Hubbs picked box of Strawberries
one day, on which she wrote
CARBoNDALE, I'LL.
This box contains the sweetest berries shipped
this season. know this to be true, for picked
them with my own hands. PETINA HUBBs.
The box, with others, was shipped in due
time TO Chicago, and nothing more was
thought of the affair. About a month
later, however, Miss Hubbs received letter
from young gentleman in Beloit, Kan,
signing his name William Busby. He said
that while in Chicago he had purchased the
box of berries on which she had written,
and also requested the privilege of cores
ponding with the lady. The request was
granted, and in a short time the couple en-
gagged in a very interesting correspondence.
In the course of time the young man made
a declaration of love, and the result was
finally marriage in the following year in
Kansas The union was happy one for a
year, notwithstanding the fact that young
Busby was a poor man, working as a day
laborer to support himself and wife At
the end of the year the young couple were

had fallen heir to $50, 900, left him by an
uucle in Scotland. IL being necessary for
Busby to return to Scotland TO obtain his
inheritance, it was agreed by husband and
wife that Mrs Busby should return to De-
soto to visit her widowed mother, and there
await the return of her husband.
Months passed during which time Busby
had returned from Scotland to his prairie
home, being in actual possession of over
S25 900, which he was lavishly spending in
Beloit The wife learned of her husbands
safe return and wrote numerous letters to
him, to which she received no answer.
Doubling that he had returned, and that
he had really come into possession of such a
fortune, she wrote to the Postmaster at
Belot for information, who Immediately
assured her of her husbands good fortune
of his presence in that town, and added
that all letters she addressed him had been
promptly delivered to Busby in person.
For the first time the former strawberry
picker began to doubt the genuineness Of
her husbands fidelity since the acquisition
of riches Her attorneys say the lady has
discovered other startling and disagreeable
things concerning her husband and that
she has taken steps to secure divorce.

SAVING THE NEGROES.
Rev. Tennell's Memorial Re-read Be-
fore the Council


fore the Council.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Oct. 26.-The Mis-
sionary Council of the Protestant Episcopal
Church resumed its session to-day, and was
opened with prayer by Rt. Rev. Bishops
Wilmer and Coke, assisted by Rev. Dr. S.
O.Seymour, of Hartford, Conn. The business
of the day was proceeded with The memo
rial read by Rev. w. V. Tennell yesterday,
relating to work among the colored people
was re-read. 1t declared that it was a mis-
take to suppose the colOred people would
take care of themselves, and urged in
creased work among those people, who it
declared had been stimulated, and anxiously
expected more care within short time 1t
spoke of the necessity of securing colored
young men to take holy orders, as they
were needed to work among their own race
and it also spoke of the necessity of paro-
chial and industrial schools in the South
and West, and denied the rumor that there
was any idea of establishing an African
Protestant Episcopal church.
A resolution providing that the commits
sion on work among the colored people be
instructed to inquire into the character and
efficiency of the theological schools for the
education of the colored people throughout
the country, was adopted.
A resolution, providing that the Council
suggest to the commission consideration of
associating with its members representa-
tives of the colored race from whom infor-
nation of Importance might be obtained
that could be CLEANED from no other source,
was presented Bishop Williams stated
that the only persons who can be asked to
consider that question are the Board OF
Managers of the general society, which next
meets in 1889. The resolution was thus re-
ferred

WOOL AND wOoLEN GOODS.

Figures from the Annual Report of the
Bureau of Statistics.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The printed re-
port of Col. w. F. Switzeler, Chief of the
Bureau of Statistics, on wool and manufac-
lures of wool, is now ready for distribution
and is considered by the bureau to be one
of the most valuable documents it has ever
put forth The report shows that the mum
Der of sheep in the United States rose
from 10000 600 in 1850 TO 81 10000 in 1884,
but declined to 10000 900 in 1887. This
marked decline occurred mainly in the
Southern and Western States, notably
Texas, and is attributed in great part to the
decline in the price of wool since 1884. The
value of our woolen product of 1850 was
$25, 100000 in round numbers, and of our
imports $l9,000, 600, both together being
about 81 95 per capita of our popula-
ton. In 1860 $50 100000 in value
were produced and $4,000, 900 imported,
together being about So 81 per capita.
In 1870 the product reached $4,000, 600,
and the importations $35, 100000 being
So 7S per capita In 1880 the product had
grown to $164, ,000, 900, and the imports were
valued at $31, 100000, being 1891 per capi-
ia. Thus, while our product of woolens has
increased since 1850 nearly seven fold, our
imports have increased about 62 per cent,
but the consumption per capita has doubled,
which the satisticiaE says, indicates in
striking manner the advancement of wealth
and comfort in the style of living among the
people of this country

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct Witnesses
for the defense were examined in the Bangs
Mac civilians case this forenoon. Nothing
sustained the conspiracy theory, but public
sentiment demanded that the exact truth in
the matter be learned, as far as possible,
and that the case then be dropped if Bangs
was cleared.
All the testimony was in at 2-o'clock, and
after the counsel had summed up an ad-
iurnment was spoken of. Tee Judge re-
marked that it was unnecessary as he had
given very close attention to the evidence
and could pass upon the case at once, and
in a few minutes. He then said that from
the evidence adduced he was convinced of
the killing of MacWilliams, and that it was
done by Bangs, and that it was done in
selfdefense, and therefore he ordered the
discharge of the prisoner. The decision
was applauded by the spectators and many
persons approached Bangs and shook his
hand which apparently affected him sen
sibly. Bangs statement was pronounced
straight forward, clear and intelligent, and
several bystanders said that it would
acquit him in any court

SPURGEON SECEDES.
He Says the Baptist Union Requires
Treason to Jesus.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-Rev. Spurgeon has
withdrawn from the Baptist Union. In an
nouncing his decision to withdraw, and re-
plying to his critics he says; "To pursue
union at the expense of truth, is treason to
Jesus To tamper with his doctrine is TO
become traitor to him. We have before us
the wretched spectacle of professedly ortho-
dox Christians publicly avowing union with
those who deny faith Call the fall of man
a fable, and deny the personality of the
Holy Ghost" Replying to the question
why he does not start new denomination
he says that it is question for which
he has no liking, that there are
enough denominations already, and that
if another were formed thieves and robbers
who have entered other gardens walled
around would enter it also, so nothing would
be gained. Baptists generally regret Rev.
Spurgeon's decision and are, urging him to
reconsider it.
